12 years have come and gone. HiRez actually put out some new updates to Tribes: Ascend, but I think they only did more damage by changing things and not being fully committed to it. When they released the new update, the userbase jumped from 35k people to 55k people, but eight months later, it's down to only 10k users. Maybe they'll give up on T:A and try something new in the next year. If we're lucky, maybe they'll sell the IP.
